About Barcelos Portuguese Flame Grilled Chicken

Barcelos Portuguese Flame Grilled Chicken Food Truck in Nashville


Serving up flame-grilled hot chicken since ’93, Barcelos is an established South African favourite with Mozambican and Portuguese roots. Now in the USA, our chicken is once again on the move. This time through the bustling streets of Nashville, Tennessee – and coming to your state soon!

Have you heard the one about the pilgrim, the judge and the rooster?
Years ago, a pilgrim was passing through the town of Barcelos in Portugal. Wrongfully accused of a crime and sentenced to hang, he was brought before a judge about to sit down to his dinner. The pilgrims last hope? The roasted cockerel before him.

“If this rooster gets up and crows– I’m an innocent man”

…And that’s exactly what happened! While the judge lost his dinner, the pilgrim was free to go and the Barcelos Legend was born. Our promise to you? Honest, tasty and flavourful flame-grilled chicken. If it were any fresher it would walk off your plate.

Chicken wrap was not as described. The chicken was chopped very small. I expected chicken breasts cut in larger pieces. Order was 11 minutes late

The food was really good! We got the chicken bowl with the journeyman sauce, it’s a mild but delicious sauce. Next time I would like to try the adventurer for some spice. We also tried the quarter chicken with the same sauce and a side salad with the white balsamic dressing. Very good and light. I would definitely recommend!

The half chicken was outstanding. The sauce on the chicken was very flavorful as well. The ranch was FAB. It had a spicy bite, it didn't linger! SO GOOD!
